- If Wendy snuck her beef into a Whopper,
would we even know?
- Let's talk about that.
(gentle upbeat music)
- Good Mythical Morning.
- Very few fast food places have reached
what we call the hall of flavor fame.
When I said hall, something kind of came up from here.
- Let me.
- No, don't.
- Oh, I was just gonna-
- It's already up.
- I was gonna loosen it up.
- Hall of flavor fame.
This is when a chain has created such a specific taste
that you immediately recognize it.
We talk about a lot with McDonald's.
- Well, and we think that we're pretty good at it.
For example, we can pick out a McDonald's burger,
a Burger King burger in a lineup, pretty easy.
Come on.
Who do you think we are?
So today we're making things a little
more challenging by literally mixing things up.
- Right.
Like if I took my tongue and placed it in your mouth,
would anybody even notice?
- I would, I don't think you meant
for that to sound the way that it did sound, I hope.
- Because your, no, your tongue would be in my mouth.
- I think if like, if my tongue was replaced
with your tongue, would I notice?
But the way you phrased that is-
- But then your tongue-
- We're swapping out recognizable ingredients
from Burger King and replacing them
with ingredients from other well known restaurants
to see if we can tell what's what.
It's time for Fast Food Frankenstein: Burger King.
Okay, it's been a while since we last did this,
so here's a reminder of how it goes.
We're gonna taste menu items from Burger King
that have had one or more ingredients swapped out
and another fast food chain's ingredients Frankensteined in.
- This is, we're just playing with ourselves here.
You know?
- You keep-
- This show, man.
- Yeah, right.
- If we can identify which ingredient is different,
we get a point.
We also get a point if we can name the restaurant
that it was swapped in.
- Wow, okay.
- That's an additional point.
We're gonna taste the original item and compare it
and then see if something has been discovered.
- Yes, and the winner gets a one-of-a-kind Franken-ceptor!
- All right.
(dramatic music)
- All right, Stevie, what do we have here?
- [Stevie] First up,
we have the ham, egg, and cheese Croissan'wich.
In this round, only one item has been swapped out.
- Croissan'wich, you say?
- You say it so properly.
- Croissan'wich.
- [Stevie] Well, I, okay,
I was back here going, is it Croissan'wich?
And then it sounded a little redneck and so-
- Ain't nothin' wrong with a little redneck!
- [Stevie] And so I said Croissan'wich,
which sounds fancy.
- [Link] Are we allowed to dissect this thing,
as Rhett is doing?
- Heck yeah, bro.
Heck yeah, bro.
- Now I can definitely tell that this ham
has a darkened edge.
(Rhett and Link chewing)
- Does Burger King have a darkened edge?
- I don't think Burger King ham has a darkened edge.
- [Stevie] I mean, reminder.
You're playing against each other here, so.
- And then this egg here has a yellowed section.
I don't think Burger King has that either.
That could be any cheese.
- Boy.
- [Link] I mean, it could be the actual-
- This dark edged ham.
- Croissan'wich.
Now the one thing I do know is
that In-N-Out does not serve croissants.
- Croissan'wiches.
- Croissants.
In-N-Out doesn't serve breakfast
so I can at least take that one off the table.
- Okay, so.
The mystery ingredients can potentially come
from the following options.
Shake Shack, McDonald's, Arby's, In-N-Out, Carl's Jr.,
Popeye's, Wendy's, Long John Silver's?
Hey, hey, how about that?
DQ and Jack in the Box.
- Yeah, and I have my answer.
Are we three, two, one-in' this thing?
'Cause I don't, or you can go first.
- No, I think we should three, two, one.
- Three, two, one. - [Stevie] Three, two, one.
- Darkened ham.
See, that's a good guess.
- I think that the Jack in the Box,
I dunno, the darkened ham is a great guess,
but I feel like the egg might be different
because of what you said.
- See, but Arby's has the meat and you look at,
that's some high quality meat.
That's too high quality for Burger King.
No offense, King.
- [Stevie] This Frankenstein.
You see what I did?
'Cause it was Frankenstein I said Frankenstein.
- Yeah, croissant.
- [Stevie] Ham, egg, and cheese Croissan'wich
contains another fast food chain's egg,
and it's a-
- You get a point.
- [Stevie] Wendy's egg, to be specific.
- I got down to Jack in the Box and Wendy's
'cause I remember they do a fresh cracked egg at one
of those places.
- I didn't know Wendy's did an egg like that.
- Yeah, that's a fresh cracked egg, bro.
- Burger King, bringin' that ham.
Yeah, throw it in now.
Don't be shy.
We gotta compare this.
- Burger King, you're doing the dark edged ham.
- So if we look at the-
- The Burger King egg is all yellow, like it's a mix.
- See, I was right.
- It's like a egg mix.
But look how dark that edge is on that ham?
- Yep, that's 'cause it wasn't swapped out.
Now.
See, I love a scrambled egg.
I don't like this fried egg.
- I prefer the Wendy's egg.
I prefer it.
They're both good, but I prefer the Wendy's egg.
- Okay, well.
- I don't know if it's worth the trip, but.
- You got a point and your preference.
(dramatic music)
- [Stevie] Okay, we have the Ch'King deluxe sandwich.
- We know we like this.
- [Stevie] This menu item has two ingredients swapped out.
- [Rhett] Look at that!
It's so big.
I'm just wanna to take a bite 'cause I like this sandwich.
- Mm hmm.
Boy.
- That's different.
- That is nice.
It's crunchy, it's tall.
I didn't know that it had tomatoes on it.
How many, is it just one?
- [Stevie] There's two.
- I will say we loved the Ch'King so much on the show.
It was the number one ranked chicken sandwich that we tried.
I went and I got the spicy version just on my own time.
- Yeah?
- Not on work time.
It's real good but you would've complained about
how much sauce was on it.
They like to sauce things hard at the King.
- And how spicy is it?
That's why I'm looking at this sauce
'cause this is sauced reasonably
but then there's more sauce on top.
What are they doing putting a tomato on it?
- They're just trying things, man.
- I'm looking at this lettuce.
- [Rhett] I have thoughts.
- I was blindfolded last time I ate this.
This is not really helping me.
Now, they could be,
they could have switched out the whole chicken.
- You know, Link.
They could have done any one of those things.
- They could have done a Popeyes thing.
- 'Cause there are no rules.
- Thinking that they're really cute, you know?
We're gonna put the Popeyes chicken.
We've got this crosshatch bun.
There's just so much going on here.
- Now one thing I will say,
once an ingredient has been used from a place,
that place can no longer be used, right?
- [Stevie] Correct.
- Just the whole place.
So like Wendy's was first round, no more Wendy's,
so it makes it a little bit easier.
- Do you have an idea?
I'm having a hard time with this.
- Yeah, I do have an idea.
I have an idea what's been switched out.
I don't exactly know where it's from,
but I feel like I have a guess and I am ready for it.
- [Stevie] Okay, this is a two ingredient, remember.
So slowly Link, together.
- Well, hold on.
I gotta figure out- - [Stevie] Okay, all right.
- What my second thing is.
Okay, I'm ready.
- [Stevie] Okay, ready?
Three, two, one - Three, two, one.
- I think that it's a Arby's bun
and I think that it is a,
oh, you think it's a Popeyes chicken?
It's not.
- Hold on, you can't be doing this.
You gotta place it.
- I'ma place it.
- You're cheating now, though.
- No, I'm not.
- No, 'cause like you're not making,
you're making all kinds of decisions now.
- No, that one, it's not.
- So I agree with you that it's a different sauce
but I don't think it's the Popeyes sauce.
I think it's the Popeyes chicken.
- This etch on the bun?
No, it is not the Popeyes chicken.
- It might be,
I thought it might be Carl's Jr. chicken, but-
- It's a good chicken.
- [Stevie] Okay, so I was laughing internally
when Link was like, this is such a good sandwich,
'cause it's kind of like not a Ch'King at all,
because we swapped the bun and the chicken.
- The bun and the chicken.
That's what I thought!
I knew it was the bun and the chicken, dang it.
- [Stevie] And the chicken is Popeyes.
- Yes.
- [Stevie] And the bun is Arby's.
- Arby's.
- [Stevie] So you, you, you both did okay.
- I got a point.
You got a point.
- We actually both got two points.
- Yeah, we did.
- Because you were right about this
and where it's from,
and I was right about this and where it's from.
So that is the, that's the sauce they put on it, huh?
- [Stevie] Yeah.
- Interesting.
- Yeah, the bread.
- [Rhett] Try the original one.
- The bread really didn't work.
But yeah, I need to, I need to compare.
- [Stevie] Well, also,
and you really do like the Popeyes chicken sandwich.
- Right.
- [Stevie] So that was the gag there.
- Oh yeah.
- [Link] I just felt so sure.
- Look at the, yeah, you know what?
That cross on the bun?
Yeah, I shoulda seen that.
- Yeah, look at how much better this bun looks.
See, but the chicken, I've eaten all the edge of my chicken.
You can't really tell.
- I think the chicken's better at Burger King.
I'm sorry, Popeyes.
- See, I don't think so.
- 'Cause this is the, Burger King, yeah.
I like the flavor profile more.
- I'm still on team Popeyes.
- I'm still on team Ch'King and I don't care.
I'll take it to my grave.
In fact, I would like to be buried with one.
(dramatic music)
- [Stevie] Now we could've gone Whopper,
but that would be too boring.
So we have the Bacon Whopper Melt here.
- What?
- [Stevie] Three of the ingredients have been swapped out.
- [Rhett] Three?
- Three.
I heard that.
- Okay, I'm gonna take a bite first before I dissect.
- All right, that's fair.
(Rhett and Link chewing)
- Well, did I get any on me?
- I immediately tasted something
that was foreign to Burger King.
First of all, this is not good.
This is kind of a nasty sandwich.
I don't, I don't really like how this is coming together.
- There's definitely, I don't think I've had a-
- That is a lot of bacon.
Good gosh, that's a lot of bacon.
- Okay, I just learned something.
I learned something about the meat.
- What is that sauce?
So you, they call this a Burger King Melt?
- [Stevie] It is a Bacon Whopper Melt.
It looks delicious until you just did what you did to it
and then said it was really bad.
I don't know why it wouldn't be good.
- Hmm.
- It's-
- Hmm.
- It definitely does not come together.
- Okay, I believe that I have my guesses locked in, friend.
- Well, gimme a second.
- Oh, there's onions.
Onions are included in this.
Are you ready? 'Cause I am.
I have been for quite a while now.
- [Stevie] Okay, here's a three, two, one.
- I mean, this is freakin' complicated.
- [Stevie] Are you ready, Link?
(Link grunting)
Three, two, one.
- Oh gosh, and then the third one,
what am I doing?
Shake Shack sauce.
- Ah, you know what?
- In-N-Out burger.
Jack in the Box bun.
- There was only two that have been replaced, right?
- [Stevie] Three.
- Nope.
Too late, man.
- Then I-
- Too late, I've already done my answer.
You're cheating.
See, and now you just copied my answer.
- No I didn't.
I know I didn't.
- Yes you did.
Jack in the Box bun.
- But I put it on the bottom bun.
- Were you thinking that already?
- The bun, I, to me it was,
I know this is definitely Burger King meat, without a doubt.
I mean, 'cause it's got that flame broiled taste,
unless somebody else is doing exactly the same thing.
- No, they replaced one of the patties
but not the other one.
You didn't taste both patties.
- I think you're right about the Shake Shack sauce,
because it's got that stuff in it.
- Well, they already know.
- The sauce is different.
- [Stevie] Okay, we went big on this one.
Replaced the buns with Jack in the Box buns.
- See, I don't love you getting those two points.
- I didn't, I didn't take the answer from you.
I went back to my, that's obviously not a McDonald's bun.
They don't have it, it's not a DQ bun.
It's not a Long John Silver's bun,
and Shake Shack doesn't have that bun.
So process of elimination.
A million times out of a million,
I would've done Jack in the Box bun.
- I believe you.
- [Stevie] The bacon is from Shake Shack.
- Oh, I did not like the bacon.
- [Stevie] And one of the burger patties is from In-N-Out!
- Yes.
- One of them is from In-N-Out?
- Yep, and the other one's from Burger King.
- I only ate the one from Burger King.
- Yeah, I tasted both of 'em, man.
- [Rhett] Oh yeah, look.
They're totally different.
- Oh.
We always forget to eat the actual thing,
which I don't think I've ever tried this.
- I didn't know.
I didn't know it was thing.
I mean, oh yeah.
Look at the bun.
The bun is totally different on the Whopper melt.
It's white.
- I mean, this looks better.
(Rhett and Link chewing)
That sauce is too much.
- I like the Burger King version better
'cause it feels like it's all made for each other.
(dramatic music)
- Okay, you think you know what the best root beer is,
but have you tried 15 side-by-side?
Well, that's what the team at Sporked is doing, okay?
Go over to sporked.com.
They're tasting everything to let you know
what you should be buying at the grocery store.
Okay? Sporked.com.
- It's entertaining over there at Sporked.
- It's entertaining, it's entertaining.
- But it's also important.
- Important.
- And utility.
- It's a utility.
Stevie, what do we have before us?
- [Stevie] This is the Big Fish sandwich,
and surprise, in this round,
I will not be telling you
how many ingredients we've swapped.
- Now, I can't say that I've ever had the Big Fish.
- I think you have had it on this show, though.
- We got Dairy Queen, Long John Silver's,
Carl's Jr., and McDonald's still in play.
- Huh?
- When's the last time you ate at a Long John Silver's?
- I can't tell you the last time I saw one.
When's the last time you saw one?
- That's a good point, man.
I mean, are they camouflaged?
This is interesting.
So these pickles are very cucumber-like.
- It's almost as if they might come from a cucumber.
- They just don't seem that pickled.
This lettuce here, this lettuce is kinda sad.
- It feels like this fish is recognizable
but then it also feels like it's not recognizable.
The fish isn't very big for a Big Fish.
- That's true.
It's called a Big Fish.
- This is not easy.
- Yeah.
- I don't know.
- I actually have to put these on things in order
to figure this out.
(crew laughing)
- Um.
You're right, that's what has to be done.
- [Link] What is, what is even at a Dairy Queen?
- [Rhett] I don't know.
- All right.
Just don't look at mine.
There's too much, too much work to be done here.
(Rhett growling)
All right, let's go.
- Let's just start going.
- Three, two, one.
I'm not looking at your stuff.
- I'm not looking.
- You're not looking at my stuff.
- Oh, what the hell?
- Boy, we went for it.
- I thought that this was a McDonald's fish filet.
- That's what I thought.
- But I think the fish filet is a perfect square
and this is a rectangle,
and also you could see the fish pieces too authentically.
- Oh, you know what?
You're right, you're right because it's the cheese
that's not a perfect square.
- That's why I went with Long John Silver for this
because I've never had it
and I figured they probably do fish well.
It tastes pretty good.
They gotta do something good there.
- Somebody's gotta do the tarter sauce.
Let's just hear it.
- [Stevie] The bun was not swapped out.
- Okay.
- Oh!
- So we're both wrong about that.
- [Stevie] The tarter sauce is from Carl's Jr.
- Dang it.
But you were right,
you were right that it was swapped out,
so you get a point for that.
- Yep.
- [Stevie] The lettuce, not swapped out.
- Dang it! - Yes.
- [Stevie] The pickles?
- The pickles were definitely-
- [Stevie] Not swapped out.
- Oh.
- [Stevie] But the fish?
- Is it McDonald's?
- [Stevie] Oh, the fish was swapped out.
- I think you were right.
- [Stevie] And it was from McDonald's.
- Oh shoot! It is from McDonald's?
So it isn't a square?
Dang.
I've been thinking that the fish filet-
- So what does that do for our points?
I pulled it off?
- That means you win.
- [Stevie] Yeah, you did it, Link.
- See, y'all are playing me as dumb this whole time,
but now who looks dumb the whole time?
- The whole time.
- Everybody but me.
- See, the Big Fish is bigger but it's also a square.
Is it better than what we just had?
- I don't, I don't, is it a square?
That's a lot of pickle too.
- Hold on, everybody thinks you're smart right now.
Don't tell 'em you don't know what a square is.
(crew laughing)
- It's not bad.
- The Big Fish is better.
- Not bad at all.
- So I think across the board,
I don't believe we improved anything by switching.
- Yeah, we didn't find any swaps worth swapping out, man.
- But you win the Franken-ceptor
and you can deploy it however you see fit.
- Oh, I like that.
It's a fish nut squawkin',
quackin' lookin' thing.
Oh, but it walks.
- Exactly.
With feet.
